Wondrous Love

1 Reply

Days roll into nights
Nights roll into days
When I think of God
I’m constantly amazed
At the love that He has for me

Abundant stars at night
One star rules the day
hen I come to God
I give Him all my praise
For the grace that He shows to me

I will sing I will sing
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise
All of my days
I will sing of His wondrous love

Time and time again
I hear the melody
When I come to God
I cannot help but weep
As His presence sweeps over me

When the day is done
And the sun is getting low
Then I come to God
His mercy overflows
As I lift my voice in praise

His beauty is sweet
He’s holy and just
His power is great
His wisdom is vast
His mercy unending
His grace evermore
His love knows no limits
It’s Him we adore

I will sing I will sing
Of His wondrous love
And the mercy and grace
That He shows to us
I will lift up my praise
All of my days
I will sing of His wondrous love

 

We Win!

The stage was set just perfect
For Satan and his crew
Jesus they were going to crucify
Satan thought he’d pillage
Peace and joy and hope
From all who thought this Jesus brought them life

He used the guards to thrash Christ
Then they nailed Him to that tree
He died and then was burred in the tomb
Satan danced in victory
He thought the battle won
The Son of God was dead, and not too soon
Suddenly Christ then appeared
And took the keys of hell
Satan’s power was pillaged from within
Jesus Christ defeated death
He lives forevermore
He made the way for all of us to win

The Vision

7 Replies

Soaring

High above the earth

I’m soaring

Flying through the clouds

I’m soaring

Looking down at earth below

Hoping

By faith I ask the Lord

I’m hoping

That we can make a change

I’m hoping

Love will conquer all our fears

And then I see a fountain

A fountain filled with joy

Springing up all over

From within the saints of God

And then I see a river

A river filled with peace

Flowing ‘cross the landscape

Centered where the joy had been

They flowed into an ocean

An ocean labeled love

Eventually this ocean

Touched the nations all around

Wond’ring

Could this really be

I’m wond’ring

If the saints of God can yield

I’m wond’ring

If the vision I have seen can come

Hearing

The voice of God declare

I’m hearing

My son this can come true

I’m hearing

When all my children heed my word

I drop down on my knees

And ask forgiveness now

He shows me His great mercy

And bids me go and tell

The vision that I’ve seen

Can be both here and now

If only we will share our love

With everyone around

Soaring

All throughout the land

I’m soaring

Praising God’s great love

I’m soaring

Knowing that the world can change

Hoping

The saints will hear the call

I’m hoping

And release the love of God

I’m hoping

To see this vision come to life

King Forever

It’s time to rise up on our feet
And sing the vist’ry song
Christ Jesus is the Lord of all
He makes us battle strong

Let’s give a loud ovation
And shout our words of praise
He is King forever
His worship we do raise

Hallelujah, Chris is King
Seated on the throne
Bless His holy, matchelss name
Now and evermore

This past year has been good to me
My faith has been revived
I’ve traveled through a valley
And am blessed to be alive

The Lord has answered many prayers
His mercy has been sweet
I cannot give Him praise enough
For all He’s done for me

Bless His name, His mighty name
Mercy flows from His throne
Giving life to His own
Bless His name, His wondrous name
The name of Jesus Christ my Lord

A new year starts a few days hence
My heart can hardly wait
I see ahead a brighter day
When I bow down to pray

He tells me healing will prevail
In all my flesh and bone
He tells me to have faith in Him
I’ll never walk alone

He tells me write the words you hear
And over them to pray
He tells me His poems touch the hearts
Of readers, every day

Bless His name, His mighty name
Mercy flows from His throne
Giving life to His own
Bless His name, His wondrous name
The name of Jesus Christ my Lord

So I will lift my voice and sing
To Jesus Christ my Lord
His praise will be my life and love
I’ll worship and adore
And praise forevermore
To Him my heart longs for
Jesus Christ my Lord

Bless His name, His mighty name
Mercy flows from His throne
Giving life to His own
Bless His name, His wondrous name
The name of Jesus Christ my Lord

The Day After

Leave a reply

The day has quickly past
The gifts are all unwrapped
The wrappings have been swiftly thrown away
The Christmas feast is done
Guests have all gone home
Now you rest from such a busy day

Your mind goes drifting back
To the year that has just past
You write down all the wonderful events
Then you start to plan
For the year that is at hand
Hoping to achieve the very best

You start to make a list
Of thinks that you would wish
Would come true in the coming year
Perhaps this year would be
A good year to agree
A closer walk with God would be so dear

Take more time to pray
Read the word each day
Listen for the sound of His sweet voice
Help those who have needs
Be a friend indeed
Always strive to make the righteous choice

Tell God all your fears
Let Him dry your tears
He will fill your heart with His sweet peace
Bring your needs to Him
And you will always win
All your doubts and worry He’ll release

With these resolutions
We know that the conclusion
Will open up a year that’s full of life
So please take time to pray
That you would find a way
To have a closer walk with Jesus Christ

Christmas is but once a year
A very special time
When families get together
And celebrate His life

To most the day is festive
To some it’s just digestive
The food is  all they came for
They just don’t know our Savior

Let love flow from you freely
As we celebrate with cheer
May you have a Merry Christmas
And a Happy New Year

Merry Christmas to all

Of my new friends online

Where I really enjoy

Spending lots of my time

In this new WordPress world

Where you all are so kind

And welcome me into your hearts

Your writings have blessed me

In so many ways

And I’ve learned so much

From your comments each day

As I get back my health

I can honestly say

This habit helps carry me through

May your Christmas be filled

With joy unabated

And peace that flows out

To all those related

May love fill your house

Until all have decided

To make Jesus the Lord of their lives

Joseph and Mary’s Prayer

Leave a reply

A little babe lay sleeping
In a stable filled with hay
His mom and dad were watching
For they knew this was His day

They knew He brought God’s bounty
For salvation to all men
And as He rested quietly
They prayed and bowed their heads

Saying thank you Lord for trusting us
With the gift of your own Son
Please give us wisdom daily
To raise Him as you’d want

And when He’s grown and ready
To fulfill His earthly call
Help us give Him back to you, Lord
That He can do your all

And the bounty that He brings us
Is His mercy and His grace
And the love that He bestows on us
As we lift our hearts in praise
